I spend a lot of time in my head. It's nice and comfy there. But I do do things for others, if possible.

It is an antidote to depression, if you can find a good deed to do.

@AmbiePam Yep, one quote that's stuck in my head. Is you have to help yourself before you can help someone else.
But over the years I've revamped since it fits me.
You have to help, heal, and relieve yourself before turning to help those around you. Help yourself by taking it easy. Heal through releasing emotions in a non harmful manner. Relieve yourself of too many things, take it one thing at a time. Then after all is said and done you can look at those around you. Take a step back from the picture and see how you can help them from every perspective.

He is right.
I try not to dwell on my troubles, sometimes it isn't easy.
Right now I am dwelling, but I am going to think about this post and see if that will allow me to just let go and maybe healing will start and change the way that I feel, and that in turn will allow me to be more like myself again.
Perfect timing for me to read such a post and be reminded.

Your dad is wise. I always put others first, even if they don't necessarily consider me at all.

I try to do things for other people as much as I can, Donating for charity or vegan groups is also something I like to do sometimes.

I have heard that said before as well. I try to do good by others and help then when I can. I think we could all do better at it, no matter what.

It always seems easier to deal with other people's problems than our own.
